140 million with over 36 million in signing bonus for 4 years. 110 million guaranteed.

Resets the WR market.

States the Panthers whole WR core costs less than 25 million a year while Jefferson will be getting 35 million a year.

Wonders where teams will start looking to go cheap with having to pay QBs and WRs so much now. They didn't mention how much edge rushers are getting and how that adds to the trouble of building a roster.

The Panthers going cheap at WR and fielding one of the most anemic offenses in NFL history isn't exactly a ringing endorsement for the concept.

I don't think he was endorsing the idea of going cheap at WR so much as he was pointing out how Jefferson is making so much more than every WR on the Panthers' roster combined.

As for what the Panthers currently have, I'm not expecting much except for the guy they traded for to show out or at least attempt to. He's in a contract year and wants to get paid after all.

Kupp didn't win them a SB, the Stafford trade did. No WR is carring a SB. Kupp just showd his QB wasn't it so they went and got it. Hill is proving Tua ain't it either but it looks like Miami will pay him anyways. I said it's all about the QB and then the rest. The WRs just help those QBs and should help the team evaluate their QBs. Purdy just failed big time and that is a stacked roster. If the Viks new QB can't be it with Jefferson then he doesn't stand a chance without him. It's not about the WR carrying the team to a SB but the WR setting the young QB up for success and making it easy to eevaluateif they are it because that is the most important part of building a modern SB champ.

They overspent but it was a luxury they could afford. If you think bringing in a rookie QB and letting your best WR go in the process then you didn't learn anything from the Moore debacle. If Young had a legit WR last year then half the BS about not knowing would be gone this year. I would rather pay to know then just hope. In a perfect world the organization could draft well enough to set up a Cheifs Mahhomes rookie cast or the 49ers but those are really the exceptions and not the rule, the dream I guess.

I don't disagree with any of that.  I just don't think the Super Bowl teams are going to be changing their strategy to spending the big bucks on the WR position.  They will continue to draft guys and fill with mid level free agent talent.

I don't really have any issue with the Vikings paying Jefferson that much.  Its not a bad formula for a rookie QB.  It's just not a proven formula for winning a championship.  DJ Moore isn't in the same category.  I'm talking about handing out record breaking deals.

I mean, it's not surprising. We basically have two mid-level FA vets and then a bunch of scraps or guys on rookie contracts vs. arguably the best WR in the league. Our entire QB room makes substantially less than the elite QBs too.

Unfortunately, sometimes you get what you paid for and so far that's holding true for the Panthers' offense.

bascially draft a WR every year.

Along with OL and especially DL. 

Steelers have the WR draft figured out the best, I bet if you look at there history every year they toss a draft chip on WR. 

WR is one of the only spots that you can play 5 at a time.

    • I thought this presented an interesting point. It is fair to wonder now, about switching the two QBs as so many tried to do that first year where Bryce was trash and CJ looked great.  It is almost the reverse scenario now and I wonder what CJ would look like here with better weapons better coaching and better protection. Overall, compared year one.  If each player had been in the other place for the three years. I would love to see CJ with this team now.  Just to see. 
    • I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.
